UNPACKING A HISTORY

It is hard to imagine that such a prolific item originated recently, with the invention of the world's first zipped style in 1938, and a nylon version in 1967. These would go on to influence the world of portable accessories by luxury fashion houses such as Prada, who showcased its first nylon backpack on the runway in 1984 as an advance towards a more modern outlook.

Widely associated with acedemia, backpacks are also significant for their use in the great outdoors. Hiking styles have since been adopted by Moncler Genius and The North Face in utilitarian shapes that are abound with technical detailing, storage compartments and durable fabric compositions.

Fusing the past and present, Gucci's Ophidia GG backpack combines a prominent hiking-inspired silhouette with the label's monogrammed Supreme Canvas, in a style that balances practicality with an eye-catching aesthetic.
